Cannot Change Render Format In Project Settings FCP X 10.1.4

I am importing video files into Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4 from my Sony A7s. They are XVAC-S format, MPEG-4 / H.264 compression, 24fps at 50Mbps.
The issue I’m having is prior to importing the footage, when I create a new project I am unable to change the render format. The option is “greyed out” and not available to select or change and selects ProRes Proxy as a default. After I import the footage, I tried to only check the “Optimized Media” option but unless I also create proxy files, the footage in the editor says “missing proxy” and I am unable to edit my footage.
Next I tried to change the render format after I’m done editing by clicking on the project, opening the inspector, go under the “Info” tab, and select “modify Settings” and still the field is “greyed out” and unavailable.
The reason I need to change the render format is that rendering source the files into ProRes Proxy noticeably degrades the final image. Perhaps there is an easy step that was moved in the last update, but please help anyone. Thank you.

Now when you say viewer appearance popup, I'm not sure what that is. The only popups I'm aware of that give any access to choosing Original/Optimized Media are:
1. Preferences
2. Upon importing the files
3. Right clicking the file after import and selecting "Transcode"
The inspector is on the right side of the application so is that what you are referring to?

Render Format in Project Properties is disabled, why?

Hi,
I can't change the Render Format in my Project Properties,
Does anyone have any idea why it would be disabled?
I've read the manual & watched various tutorials & none of them mention this possibility.
BTW I'm trying to do this because having chosen ProRes422Proxy, the video looks compressed & horrible while editing; far below the quality I was expecting.

Sorry, yes the audio sample rate was originally Surround/48Khz, I was just playing around to see if I could get the render format to enable.
I did have a clip in the project, which was rendered in Motion5 (in ProRes4444), but I deleted this clip & the Render Format is still disabled.
I didn't notice this before, but for some reason, some of the later clips I'm using have no audio track.
This is not right and is probably because whenever I use FCPX to import video from my PAL DV camera, it fails to include audio. And probably fails to do something else...
So I have since discovered that I have to use FCPExpress to import all my footage.
This will take a while, but no doubt if I re-import these clips in FCPExpress, the issue will go away - just a hunch.
Unfortunately, with FCPX's inability to reconnect old clips - I guess it means I'll have to start this project all over again. Yay! ;-)

Cannot change mail password or mail settings or reset factory settings.

Hi, I had to change my mail password on my computer and now cannot access mail on my iPhone.
The settings area for iCloud and mail are greyed out and I cannot access them.
I have a restrictions passcode in place, but I cannot remember it (have tried very hard!).
I can't restore the factory settings as iCloud is greyed out so I can't turn off Find my Iphone.
The passcode restriction has been an ongoing problem as far as some location services go (eg can't use Hailo), but now it is a BIG problem if I can't get mail.
I took the phone into the genius bar a few months ago to try and unlock the restrictions passcode, but the moment the phone synced again, the problem was there again.
Any help/advice would be HUGELY appreciated! Thank you very much.

You cannot re-sync the device if you need to remove restrictions passcode. You must restore it as New. If you have a prior backup before you added a restrictions code, then you can restore that backup or a previous one.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

Cannot change capture format CS4!!!!!

Hi all,
This is incredibly frustrating. I have a Sony HC1 and have decided to trial Premiere CS4 before deciding to buy the full version as I have been using Final Cut for years. The problem I face is that I cannot even capture any footage. I have been reading for hours about making sure the i.link conv is off, which I have done. I also understand the HDV is not an option in the trial. I have my camera set on DV, but when I atttempt to try and change the capture format, the ONLY option I have is OuickTime (see image). I have tried everything to get this setting to change to DV so I can move to the next step of solving the problem!
Anyone shed any light? Thanks!!!!
tristan

The best advice I can offer is to follow the Help guidelines here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS3AD1B705-E907-48cf-B4B8-4E84F9605128.html
Then try to capture. What happens?

EA1 - Cannot Change Date Format in SQL Results

In version 1.2, I used to go to Tools > Preferences > Database > NLS Paramters and change the date format there. The change would then be reflected in the SQL results for date columns.
When I try to do the same thing in 1.5 EA1, the date format is always the same, DD-MON-RR, no matter what I put in the date format setting under NLS Paramters.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Just a quick post to make sure that the bug you logged takes into account all NLS parameters :), as this does not concern only dates but also timestamp formats, decimal and group separators as well, and probably all of the NLS parameters I assume.

Cannot change date format in delimited output

Hi,
I am launching a series of Reports from a Forms environment in pdf format without any problem.
However, we're finding trouble when setting the format to excel (desformat=delimiteddata in set_report_object_property). Date fields which include hour and minute are being truncated ('18/05/2007 12:10:00' to '18/05/2007'). This is a highly undesirable behavior and we would like to fix it.
We have been following online help and found out that dateformatmask parameter is the key to achieve this. We have included it in the report launch string that is used inside the web.show_document built. This is the way it looks:
/rwservlet/getjobid2574?server=rep_cspas&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel&dateformatmask='DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SS'
However, report date fields format keeps being wrong. Any clue about this?
Thanks and regards,
Fernando Gorostiza.

Thanks, but that's a kind of solution I had already thought of but which I wanted to avoid. We have over 60 reports, and although I can make one developer change every date field inside each of them, I believe it's quite a big waste of time considering the existence of dateformatmask parameter.
Any other idea?

Photoshop CS3 - I cannot change file format

This just happened now and I've restarted few times. I open a TIF file, got to "Save As..." and choose JPEG. The extension does not change in the file name on top and if I do try and hit "Save" I am given the JPEG Options and if I hit "OK" the file that is saved is still a TIF.
Please help.

IPod Touch Gen 4 - Cannot change email address under iCloud Settings

Hello everybody,
I recently purchased an iPhone 5C, so I haven't been using my iPod Touch, which is a generation 4. I want to update the music on it, and I'm sure I can without using iCloud, but here is my problem:
It keeps asking me to sign into iCloud. I've changed my iCloud email address and password around the time I got my iPhone. It won't let me change the email, and I've tried typing in my old and new password to change it, but it's not accepting anything.
Any help appreciated.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Change Resolution of Premiere Project?

I've been editing a project at a draft resolution of 864x486. . The final res is going to be higher.
In the video settings for a given sequence, the resolution is not editable, nor do I see way to change res in the project settings.
Is there a way to change the res of my current project?
Thanks much.

There is no draft resolution presets in premiere. There is only the dynamic preview quality settings that can be adjusted in the source and program monitor.
You can copy all of your clips and paste them into a sequence that is the proper size, then make adjustments to individual media assets accordingly. Or you can drop your "draft sequence" in a proper format sequence and see what happens, it won't be good I'm afraid.

Garage Band '11, version 6.0.5 will not change key after new project is started

Garage Band '11 version 6.0.5: Cannot change key after new project is started.
It has always worked ok prior to this. And I have had other issues. How do I reinstall Garage Band '11?
I have looked in downloads, but can'ty find any download file. I had upgraded to Mac OSX 10.6.8 couple years back, which included
Garage Band '11, a new ITunes & new IPhoto.

Before reinstalling I'd try HangTime's fix for "oddball" problems and delete the User preferences and repair permissions, see the FAQ:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
The GarageBand 6.0.5 update is here:
GarageBand 6.0.5
If you want to reinstall, install again the GaragaBand application from your installation disk and then upgrade again to 6.05 using the link above or Software update from the Apple Menu.

Changing Render Settings

If I change my render settings to lower resolution and frame rate in order to speed the time lost while waiting for things to render, then I edit the sequence in that lower resolution render, how do I go back later on in the same sequence and make it render at full resolution?
I changed render settings and then rendered, but when I go back and change the sequence render settings back to full resolution, the clips rendered in the lower resolution remain as lower resolution. The clips don't suddenly un-render, for example, requiring that they be re-rendered at the new higher resolution settings.
FCP 4.5

Use Render manager and trash all of the appropriate project renders, then re-render with the new settings.

Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks in advance.

I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be adjusted.
I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

Is there a way to render multiple projects in FCP

Im currently working with an iMac alum 2.66 with final cut studio 2. Im making a lot of videos for web for a client in HDV and using motion templates and such. Most of the videos are 2 and a half to 3 minutes. It takes me about 20 minutes to do a video but 25 to 30 minutes of rendering. I was wondering if there was a way to render a couple projects or sequences at the same time to speed up on time working, say work on 5 videos and then render and leave and go about my day. That kind of thing.

Select your sequences in the Browser -- Command-click to select multiple -- then press Option-R, which is FCP's Render All function.
Speaking of that function (in the Menubar, Sequence > Render All), make sure that the kinds of renders that you want -- Full, Unlimited, Preview, etc -- are selected.
The default settings select everything except Full (aka The Dark Green Line) which may (or may not) be a hassle for you. I know when I'm going out to a QT file, I want Full selected when I do Option-R, otherwise I burn extra time as FCP must 'render' that material on export.

A question about project settings..FCP 7

I am using FCP 7 and I'm a little overwhelmed with the myriad of project settings options.
I use a Canon T3i and film in full HD (1920x1080 i think). All my footage I transcode in compressor to Apple ProRes 422 before importing to FCP projects.
I installed another computer and reinstalled FCP 7 and lost my old templates and importing some footage, I get the red line indicating unrendered footage.
Is there a standard setting that Compressor and FCP use to make it easy to just transcode, import, and edit? I'd like all my projects to look the best possible in full HD and there's hundreds of preset project settings and I'm a little unfamiliar with all the options.
Anyone have any quick tips, pointers, or thoughts?

If you drop a clip into the timeline, it means the sequence settings don't match the clip settings. Make a new sequence, add the clip. FCP should ask "do you want the sequence to match the clip settings?" Click YES. If you don't see that, you might need to trash your preferences...or it might be an older version that doesn't support ProRes formats (FCP 5.1 and earlier).
Another way is to choose an EASY SETUP that matches your clip settings, and then make a new sequence.
And your camera shoots 1920x1080p...not i.
